Why is the Bible Important?
How do you develop a love for scripture?
It is the primary gateway to knowing God (v.
102)
You need to have a love for God himself, and a desire to seek Him (v.
97)
What the Bible Isn’t
A self-help/therapy book (Jdg.
21:25) “25 In those days there was no king in Israel.
Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.”
An encyclopedia/science journal (Job 38:22-23) “22 “Have you entered the storehouses of the snow, or have you seen the storehouses of the hail, 23 which I have reserved for the time of trouble, for the day of battle and war?”
A history textbook (Matt.
1:17 vs. Lk.
3:23-38) [56 vs. 54 generations listed]
An allegory/myth (Song.
7:1-5) “1 How beautiful are your feet in sandals, O noble daughter!
Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of a master hand. 2 Your navel is a rounded bowl that never lacks mixed wine.
Your belly is a heap of wheat, encircled with lilies.
3 Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is like an ivory tower.
Your eyes are pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim.
Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon, which looks toward Damascus.
5 Your head crowns you like Carmel, and your flowing locks are like purple; a king is held captive in the tresses.”
A moral handbook (Tit.
3:4-5)“4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,”
A book about you (Jn.
20:31)
What the Bible Is
θεόπνευστος - Breathed out by God (God-spirited).
Occurs only here in the whole Bible.
Indicates that God’s Spirit is what created scripture (see 2 Pet.
1:20b-21).
The Bible is the fully inerrant truth of God, revealed and preserved for all generations.
It reveals God (v.
16) [Lk.
24:25-27]
It completes you (v.17)

Example of the power of God’s word
God cannot be comprehended by us, unless as far as he accommodates himself to our standard.
